Wish your GameBoy Advance were
backlit? Yeah, that'd be great. How about a bigger screen, like twenty-seven
inches or so? Well, lucky for you some guy over at Innovation thinks like
you do, and the result is the GBA TV Converter. The idea is simple: a
device that lets you play your GameBoy Advance games on your television,
and in practice it's not that much more complicated.

The GBA TV Converter
is split into two parts: a white interface shell that replaces the back
of your GBA and a converter pack that connects to your TV. The interface
shell links directly to the screen of your GBA and can either mate to
the converter pack for TV play, or stand alone and keep the system portable.

The whole thing
works rather well. The image and sound are transmitted via stereo audio,
video or s-video connections. When hooked up, the image shows up on both
the TV and GBA screen. While running through to the TV, you have a choice
of full screen or smaller to preserve picture quality, which does suffer
a little bit by the enlarging process. Sound, however is awesome. You
never knew how good the sound effects and music were on the GBA until
you've heard them through actual speakers.

The GBA TV Converter
comes with the interface shell, converter pack, AC adapter and both "+"
and "Y" type screwdrivers (for removing the casing and applying
the shell). For about eighty bucks you can pick one up at some stores
or online at ebgames.com.
